Marten - FormFloor

The Form Series represents a new concept of loudspeaker design from Leif Marten Olofsson, chief designer and founder of Swedish manufacturer Marten. After creating award-winning loudspeakers that have reached out to audiophiles around the world, he wanted a new challenge—to create a beautiful and simple geometrical form that would fit into the interior of any contemporary home, yet provide the high-end sound quality and cabinetry for which Marten loudspeakers have become so well known.

The FormFloor may be affordable, but it’s also a genuinely high-end 2-way floor speaker offering striking looks and excellent sound reproduction. Its ribbon tweeter delivers a smooth, open treble sound image, its fast response working very well with the ceramic mid-range and bass units. The triangular shape makes for an optimal sonic performance. By adding the FormSub you can create a real full range system that goes down to 19 Hz – giving you real power.

Closer inspection to the details of the design reveal why the FloorForms are so special: the 7-inch woofer is ceramic, not a plastic, paper, or metal component. Ceramic midrange/woofer drivers are shockingly expensive, so they're rarely used in speakers in the FormFloor's price range. The 2.2-inch ribbon tweeter has resolution that's superior to standard dome tweeters.
